Chapter 620: Chapter 227: Oasis Traces, Frightened Birds (Seeking Monthly Tickets!!!)
Outer Heaven Beast Swamp.
At this moment, amidst the vast yellow sand, a group of people was slowly moving forward. From time to time, someone casually killed demonic beasts hidden in the sand and then threw their bodies aside.
The leader of this group was none other than the Soul Emergence power Feng Qingzi of the Seeking-Truth Lineage. After arriving at the Beast Swamp, they did not separate.
After all, their purpose in coming to the Beast Swamp was very clear: to find the Ancient Desolate Springs. They didn’t care much about anything else.
Even if people from the City Lord Mansion came, they would not have to worry too much about it with Feng Qingzi present. However, up to now, they had not seen any traces of the Ancient Desolate Springs.
But Feng Qingzi was not anxious at all. After all, according to ancient texts, the Ancient Desolate Springs appeared randomly within the Beast Swamp.
They already had an advantage, as it was even more difficult for ordinary cultivators to find the Ancient Desolate Springs. It was because their cultivation methods of the Seeking Truth Lineage were closer to the ancient techniques than the modern cultivation methods practiced by other cultivators, so they had a stronger perception of the Ancient Desolate Springs.
The Outer Heaven Beast Swamp was vast. Although they didn’t encounter many demonic beasts on their way, this was only relative to the whole area.
If one were only to count the number of demonic beasts, there were actually quite a few. Feng Qingzi was fully spreading his divine sense; anyone in the Beast Swamp would have their perception suppressed.
He was now relying on his perception to move forward, but in reality, he had almost no plan. Fortunately, everything went smoothly, and they didn’t encounter any trouble.
This situation was quite reasonable, since the lowest cultivation level among them was the Nascent Soul Realm; naturally, there wouldn’t be many other unexpected situations.
Except for making a commotion by killing demon beasts, they were silent during the whole journey, but their eyes were full of determination.
Once they found the Ancient Desolate Springs and used a method to pour the spring water into the Longevity Immortal City, it would completely change the situation of the Immortal City.
By then, the cultivators of the Seeking-Truth Lineage would be able to return to the East Victory Immortal Dynasty and no longer have to hide in other immortal dynasties and struggle to survive.
This was the reason why the Seeking-Truth Lineage was so persistent in coming to the Outer Heaven Beast Swamp. Even knowing that it might be a conspiracy of the Immortal City, they were still willing to take the risk.
The group of Seeking-Truth Lineage cultivators continued to move forward in silence, but even Feng Qingzi did not notice that someone was hiding nearby.
It was none other than Liang Sheng.
Of course, even Liang Sheng was surprised that he had landed so close to the Seeking-Truth Lineage after entering the Outer Heaven Beast Swamp.
In fact, in his plan, he should have started looking for the traces of the Seeking-Truth Lineage as soon as he landed. He didn’t expect his plan to go so smoothly.
His luck seemed to be a little too extraordinary
Although the Seeking-Truth Lineage didn’t know that their whereabouts had been exposed, luckily, Liang Sheng temporarily had no intention of informing the Immortal City Lineage about their tracks. Ultimately, Liang Sheng would bring both parties face to face.
He didn’t take any action at the moment because he wanted to know if the Ancient Desolate Springs were just as he had guessed.
Back in the Desolate Regions, Liang Sheng had accidentally entered the Beast Swamp once, and fell into the Oasis Spring Water, which made his cultivation level soar rapidly.
The properties of the Oasis Spring Water were similar to the Heaven and Earth Spine, but there were some slight differences. So, if the Oasis Spring Water was the Ancient Desolate Springs they mentioned, Liang Sheng would naturally not give it up.
With that in mind, Liang Sheng completely concealed his Qi and followed the Seeking-Truth Lineage, hoping that they could find the Ancient Desolate Springs sooner.
In the Beast Swamp, the sky was always dark and there was no sunlight, so there was no concept of day and night. However, there were no vision problems for cultivators.
Just then, Feng Qingzi and his group suddenly stopped, and in front of them were flickering fluorescent lights. After a closer look, they realized they had encountered a herd of beasts.
Feng Qingzi had no intention of fighting the beasts directly and flashed through them, leaving them to the Seeking-Truth Lineage cultivators behind him.
They didn’t know how long they would be staying in the Beast Swamp, so Feng Qingzi couldn’t personally deal with everything. This was also an opportunity to train the soldiers.
After he passed through the beast herd, he landed and did not move. Several Nascent Soul cultivators voluntarily stepped forward with magical weapons in hand, ready to handle the beast herd.
Seeing Feng Qingzi pass through the beast herd, the other people began to set up camp. In a short time, a perfect campsite appeared.
Those Nascent Soul cultivators who took action seemed excited. In the monotonous environment of the Outer Heaven Beast Swamp, they were actually grateful for the attacks of the demonic beasts along the way.
After all, long-term silence was even more torturous. So, even for cultivators, they should not be too nervous and should combine work with leisure.
As soon as the camp was built, Feng Qingzi entered a tent without even looking at the situation of the cultivators fighting the demon beasts. He sat down and began to meditate.
At the same time, as the Seeking-Truth Lineage cultivators fought openly, the casualties of the beast herd outside increased. In fear and panic, the beast herd eventually retreated and fled.
The cultivators of the Seeking-Truth Lineage did not pursue them but found a few Third Realm or higher demonic beasts on the ground and slaughtered them, soon placing them on a grill.
With their cultivation level, they could naturally abstain from food, but given a chance, they would not refuse to satisfy their appetites.
At this moment, one couldn’t help but admire the discipline among the cultivators of the Seeking-Truth Lineage. Those without a task began hiding inside the camp tents, practicing meditation.
After all, the spiritual energy in the Beast Swamp was different from that of the East Victory Immortal Dynasty, so it was more suitable for cultivating body techniques. They wouldn’t waste a moment to practice in their spare time.
